This popular winter destination offers hundreds of miles of marked desert roads and trails on BLM land that are open to motorized use. Most trails are wide enough to accommodate even the widest ATVs and UTVs, plus the terrain is generally hard packed and rated as mostly easy. The trails are marked and many form long loops that lead to abandoned mines, cabins, mills and scenic overlooks.

The trails are open year-round but summer months are extremely hot, making daytime temps reach over 100F. The nearby town of Quartzsite offers numerous RV campgrounds, restaurants, laundromats, grocery stores and gasoline stations.

The area offers several popular boondock campgrounds which can accommodate large sized RVs. There is no fee charged to camp at most locations but stays are limited to 14 days and there are no services.

This area has four designated long term visitor areas (LTVA's) that cater to campers who want to stay for a longer period of time. All four LTVA's are located south of Quartzsite off Hwy 95 (La Posa West, La Posa North, La Posa Tyson Wash and La Posa South). There are no services at the north, west or Tyson Wash LTVA's except for garbage removal but La Posa South offers an RV dump station, eight water spigots (non-potable), vault toilets plus five large garbage dumpsters. A permit is required to use the La Posa South amenities or if camping at any of the LTVA's. The permit can be purchased online or onsite at one of the ranger stations. Permits are available for 14 days or for the season (September 15 through April 15).
